Just saw her post-match interview. So very true - poise. Very graceful loser and pleasant.
You guys are talking about two different people!

My mistake. Sorrrry....You guys are talking about two different people!
I wouldn't put too much stock into those post match interviews. The players will say scripted lines and pander to political correctness and virtue signal. Only Kyrgios speaks his mind in those things, the rest of them are too afraid to.Just saw her post-match interview. So very true - poise. Very graceful loser and pleasant.
Yeah, I know that's Bencic. I thought the original post was saying about Bencic. I misread the original post. I think that video is less "scripted" than the usual post-match interviews.I wouldn't put too much stock into those post match interviews.

Also that's Bencic, not Andreescu.
i wish they could just speak, why are they being interviewed
Wimby and USO are so annoying in that thing. I know you're a Roger fan but every time in Wimby it's seems like more about Roger and Serena losing than Novak and Kerber/Halep winning.

You have done nothing but ****-talk her the entire thread, and in other threads as well. Dismiss her as all hype. Why was everyone talking about her? Who is the US Open 2019 Women's Singles Champion?

That said, Serena is the one showing better form, and I don't see how one could argue otherwise. So I guess it's about who peaks in the final. Andreescu may be ripe to peak after so many ugly performances. Serena may have spent her good days. Who knows.
The reason why 1st serve was not working is because she was intimidated and knew that she was losing to this girl.Andreescu did peak in the final and Serena didn't. Serena's groundstrokes were fine but her first serve disappeared. The way Bianca played, I'm not sure Serena would have won even if her first serve went up to 60% though.

60, nah. Needed around 80 imo.Andreescu did peak in the final and Serena didn't. Serena's groundstrokes were fine but her first serve disappeared. The way Bianca played, I'm not sure Serena would have won even if her first serve went up to 60% though.

She/he? did the same thing when DJokovic won his first slam. Said he was a lucky clown who wouldn't win another slam. No eye for talent, so likes to troll.

She knew that from the first service game onward? Doubtful.The reason why 1st serve was not working is because she was intimidated and knew that she was losing to this girl.
I was not talking about the first game. Anyone can df in first service game. Why is it a big deal? If she didn't play well, it's her fault. To me it was clear that Bianca was outplaying her from the start. What is the excuse for losing 2/3 of Second serves?She knew that from the first service game onward? Doubtful.
Serena is burdened by the history and that’s very apparent.
Yep with a horrible smash at mpAzarenka clearly the weakest link so far.

If she played her worst match, that was because of Andreescu.
AgreedFirst game was crucial to the first set, and it's a big deal because it sets the tone and tells the other side off the bat that you're nervous af.
Of course it's her fault she didn't play well. That's kind of the point. Confused about yours since you're first saying"it's her fault" and then "if she played her worst match, that was because of Andreescu." Which is it?
It's no one's fault but Serena's own that she plummets on first serve each time she reaches a slam final in NY. Where Andreescu excelled, I thought, was in matching her ground game so exceptionally well. Serena was hitting pretty well in the first set, serving aside, and Andreescu managed it adeptly. If she hadn't, Serena would have overcome her nerves and might well have come back into it.
I'm sure having someone so adept at matching ground game further got into her head and made it that much harder to get the first serve back on track.
I've only got home now... Has Sabalenka rambled and begged for Tursunov aka D to come back?
And a fine USO for Mertens. Title in doubles, QF in singles, pushing the eventual champion to 3 sets. Fine indeed.
I’m still too busy laughing at her Instagram storySo Caroline is taking on-campus courses at Harvard now. She just gonna skip Asia too?
